I would like to thank Mr. Williams for his excellent instruction and training on firearm safety. After taking this course, I feel prepared to be responsible in owning a firearm based on the training I received. Moreover, I have a clearer understanding of the law as it relates to owning a firearm. I will be certain to refer my colleagues and friends so that they can also receive the proper training related to firearm safety. I enjoyed my experience and I look forward to future training in other areas offered. God bless you.
May 12, 2018 at 3:47 pm

I had the opportunity to experience this LTC class the instructor was great. He’s very knowledgeable with his laws and regulations an with everything else that comes along with it. If you are considering on getting your FID or LTC license I would highly recommend that you obtain it with SSD Tactical Training Inc. I am highly recommending this class to friends and family the hands-on experience is awesome.

My husband took this class 2 years ago because we live in CT and have family in MA and would be eligible for both licenses plus UT. Well he raved about it and has been actively learning since. Myself being very fearful of guns started learning and soon found myself on the other end of the spectrum. So I finally made the two hour pilgrimage and took the class. My husband was right about everything. The class is very thorough. He covers everything from how to handle and shoot a gun, gun laws and how not to be stupid, how to handle different situations you may come into like how to handle the police if you’re carrying and get pulled over, suicide prevention, as well as how to fill out your forms. He’s very active when he teaches. It’s very hands on and he’s there to help you. My husband and I look forward to taking more of his classes in the future. I highly recommended his class to anyone even slightly interested in firearm safety and protection.
June 4, 2018 at 12:35 pm
Jamie,
Thank you for that kind and very detailed review. You and your husband show the true meaning of gun owners who want to stay safe and have knowledge of the laws. Keep up the training and investing in yourselves. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to call.

I took the Utah non-resident class from David Williams. I have been a Massachusetts Firearms Instructor for 19 years and I was so glad I took the class. Not only did I learn so much from this class but David also helped us fill out the application, fingerprinted everyone and told us exactly what we needed to send to Utah and even supplied the envelope. I was amazed at his knowledge not only in regards to Utah law but for Massachusetts as well. I was impressed and will be sending many clients his way for the Utah non resident CCW. I owe David with so much respect and character that I know I would trust him and his word in all that I do. Thank you Sir and “Be Safe” in all you do.
